Are you paying attention to the "new national standard" of mahogany furniture?

Mahogany furniture is known as the nobility in furniture. In recent years, it has been popular among consumers and prices have risen steadily. Behind the huge business opportunities, many counterfeit and shoddy products began to enter the market. Recently, the reporter found that in the current mahogany furniture on the market, many species such as ebony, red sandalwood and black sandalwood do not exist at all. The base materials are mostly ordinary wood or even miscellaneous wood. This phenomenon of red sandalwood and ebony fish is very common. Many merchants use ordinary wood materials, which are polished, soaked, dried, coated, re-stained, painted and painted to create a set of "redwood" furniture. Or, they put in the fake material in the fake material, making people really difficult to distinguish. These furniture climbed into the high branches of the mahogany under the name of the imaginary, and the price may be more than ten times that of ordinary wood furniture.

In the interview, Lai Manager of Yantai Hongmu Furniture City told the reporter: “The previous “China Dark Premium Hardwood Furniture Standard” has already stipulated that the mahogany furniture sold by the merchant must indicate the product name, wood, accessories, wood origin, quality grade, paint. , specifications, etc., and expensive hardwood furniture must have a fixed metal mark. But mahogany furniture is a professional forest product, can only detect whether the product has quality problems, can not detect its components, tree species, etc. So the standard is not mandatory, in fact The quality of mahogany furniture still depends on industry self-discipline."

According to industry sources, there have been many businesses in the past, using red sandalwood, ebony and other woods to name the sale of mahogany. However, on August 1, 2012, the new national standard "General Technical Conditions for Redwood Furniture" was launched. It was officially implemented on February 1 this year. The biggest highlight is the mandatory implementation of the product quality express card. The new national standard stipulates that mahogany furniture products must be equipped with a national uniform product quality express card. If the consumer finds that the product has a problem, the express card can be used as evidence for the appeal and claim. Now the merchants have been relatively standardized. Although there are markets like red sandalwood and ebony, they cannot be called redwood sales.

It is understood that no tree species is called "red sandalwood" or "red sandalwood".

The name of red sandalwood is called red iron pigeon bean, and African leaflet red sandalwood is also known as red sandalwood. When I first entered China in the 1990s, I was identified as a red rosewood. It was corrected in 2001 and is actually a red iron pigeon. It has a fine structure, a pleasant color, a beautiful pattern, and many features similar to red rosewood.

One of the ways to identify the woody wood (red sandalwood): red sandalwood is not a redwood, because it is woody red, it is called red sandalwood. In addition to the characteristics of the exterior, you can use alcohol to make small pieces of wood, the color is blue or light blue.

In the interview, the reporter found that some merchants have implemented according to the new national standard, but it does not rule out that individual shopping malls are imperfect, and use post-fill or hand-written methods.

Reporter's reminder: After purchasing the rosewood products after February 1, 2013, it depends on whether there is a machine-made product quality express card, product instruction manual, product contract and product label. If it is not marked according to the “new national standard” standard, it can be referred to relevant departments. Identification.

Interpretation of the related link "New National Standard"

Checking the previous mahogany national standard online, you can see that the standard lacks detailed and explicit provisions on product manuals, product contracts and product labels. The current "General Technical Conditions for Mahogany Furniture" not only has a uniform specification for the product label, but also supplements the product contract, and more clearly covers the contents covered by the product manual. The new national standard will also require all sellers to provide after-sales service, such as product warranty, product return, product warranty conditions beyond the warranty conditions and warranty period. At the same time, the biggest difference of the new national standard is that if entering the judicial appraisal, consumers and manufacturers must provide product instruction manual, product quality assurance card, and product certification.
